What is the easiest way to trigger (zmtrigger.pl, right?) Zoneminder with a simple open/closed circuit connection?

IOW, I have an external sensor which when it senses what I want to sense, it closes a simple relay circuit. I need to detect that relay closure (presence of a connection) with ZM and crank specific cameras to record an event (go into alarm).

I have seen this solution, but it seems quite complex. I dont think I am capable of building such a device. Does someone offer these for sale?
